A collection of photographs taken by First Lieutenant Walter Frentz in the tunnels of the Dora-Mittelbau missile factory probably in early July 1944. Frentz was a PK photographer, who was permanently attached to the Fuehrer's headquarters, and was given special film assignments on behalf of the Reich's leadership.
In early July 1944 he was asked to prepare a movie about the V-1 missile for use in newsreels, and about the V-2 missile for internal use.
While filming the movie about the V-2, Frentz was permitted to photograph at the secret subterranean missile factory Dora-Mittelbau, where most of the workers were concentration camp inmates. Frentz also used a stills camera, usually with color film. He used this equipment for the pictures in this collection.
In the collection one can see the factory's tunnels, the camp inmates and the German experts who produced the advanced missiles.
